Chapter 109 : Chapter 109
Chapter : 109
Before Yan Yunqing could figure out how he was going to get first place, two people had already entered the classroom, one old and one young.
The older one had graying hair, was impeccably dressed, and even looked a bit harsh. Yan Yunqing recognized her the moment he looked up.
It was the Ms. Theresa he had met at the office yesterday, who seemed to harbor some hostility towards him.
Yan Yunqing didn't recognize the other young man.
Quinn was still trying to persuade Yan Yunqing to leave quickly, but when he turned his head and saw that the teacher had already appeared in the classroom, his face instantly paled.
Oh no, the teacher is already here, and I haven't finished reviewing the key points! When was the Water Arrow Spell improved again? I think I've sort of forgotten...
Just as Quinn was about to open his textbook for another look, he remembered the great beauty beside him.
It's over, the great beauty really can't leave now. The teacher is here, he can't possibly walk out right in front of the teacher, can he?
Quinn flipped through his book while lowering his voice to say to Yan Yunqing: "It's over now, the teacher is here.
Why don't you tell the teacher that you accidentally walked into the wrong classroom and see if he'll let you go."
Those words could only serve as psychological comfort. School had been in session for so long, how could a student possibly walk into the wrong classroom?
Any teacher who had taught at Sigret for a long time would know what this was about. It all just depended on whether the teacher was willing to let you off this one time.
Normally, it would be hard to say, but with Professor Theresa here this time, Quinn felt the chances of the great beauty being let go were slim.
He could only hope that the beauty had a good grasp of the subject of Magic History, otherwise their class's average score would probably be dragged down a bit more.
Yan Yunqing raised his eyes, his gaze meeting Professor Theresa's. Theresa had clearly recognized Yan Yunqing as well.
She frowned, not showing much emotion on her face, and averted her gaze.
Yan Yunqing thought to himself: Leaving aside the quest that required him to stay and make a stunning debut in the exam, just with Professor Theresa here, she probably wouldn't let him off the hook easily.
She might even target him specifically.
Yan Yunqing simply gave up the idea of leaving. As for the quest to make a stunning debut, the reward was unknown.
It wouldn't matter if he couldn't complete it, since it was just a side quest anyway.
Thinking this, Yan Yunqing turned his head and asked in a low voice: "What's the scope of today's exam?"
Quinn had a pained expression on his face: "The entire book, and there's a high chance of content beyond the textbook."
Questions that go beyond the syllabus, huh?
No wonder everyone in Class A looked like they were facing a great enemy.
So the exam scope was very wide; a single slip-up could lead to failure.
"Alright, time's about up." The young male teacher glanced at the time and clapped his hands.
"Everyone, put away your textbooks and materials. I'm about to hand out the test papers."
"Everyone do your best. As I've said before, this test is very important and will be counted towards your final grade.
If you don't want to study Magic History all over again next year, then do well. Let's strive for everyone to pass, ha."
The male teacher's voice was light, unable to hold back a hint of schadenfreude. He had seen the test paper last night.
It was personally written by his teacher, Professor Theresa. As Professor Theresa's student, he was the first to take this test.
The result was self-evident. Even a teacher like him who specialized in Magic History had been brutally tortured by this test paper, let alone these students who had only just entered the academy.
The thought that these students would soon experience the same torture he went through last night made him want to laugh.
Sorry, he was a professional teacher. He wouldn't laugh out loud unless he couldn't help it.
"Pfft... ahem, alright, everyone quickly put away your textbooks."
The test papers were handed out, and Yan Yunqing looked at the first fill-in-the-blank question.
When was the Ailman Forbidden Spell Act promulgated?
Yan Yunqing: ...When?
Yan Yunqing really didn't know this. But then he heard a series of 'sighs and groans' from those around him. Quinn let out a small, relieved whisper: "It seems today's test isn't that difficult."
Yan Yunqing glanced sideways. Really? Then how was he supposed to make a stunning debut?
By making a stunning debut with the lowest score?
Yan Yunqing was hesitant. He continued reading.
Apart from a few questions about events during the War of the Gods that he still remembered, the rest were all about the history after the Demon King's disappearance.
To him, it was like being completely blind, knowing nothing about anything he was asked.
He quickly skipped over the questions he had no idea about and flipped the paper to the second page to look at the short answer and essay questions.
The people next to him, still racking their brains over the fill-in-the-blanks on the first page, all turned to look: Who was that? They've already finished the first page so quickly?
As everyone knew, every student's mentality during an exam was extremely fragile. The sound of the person at the next desk flipping their paper could easily shatter their willpower.
Quinn's eyes widened even more: What's going on? Is this great beauty who came to sit in on the class actually a top student?
Only Yan Yunqing fell silent as he looked at the questions on the second page.
First short answer question.
In the 176th year before the Eternal Calendar, during the early stages of the War of the Gods, the Eternal Lord subdued his first retainer.
Who was this retainer? Please briefly describe this process.
Yan Yunqing: ?
Hmm? Who did you say?
Yan Yunqing read the question again, dazedly confirming that this test paper was really asking how the Demon King subdued Silf.
Yan Yunqing hesitantly looked down at the second short answer question.
In the 119th year before the Eternal Calendar, during the middle stages of the War of the Gods, the Angel race still fought for their old master, participating in countless wars.
Who was this old master? What major event did the Angel race experience in this year? List three battles the Angel race participated in, and briefly describe the process of one of them.
Yan Yunqing did a tactical lean back.
Who was the old master of the Angel race? He was all too clear about that. Wasn't it his old rival, the God of Light?
The Angel race was the creation of the God of Light, his retainers from the moment of their birth.
The 119th year before the Eternal Calendar?
Oh, he wasn't too sure about that. After all, the calendar back then didn't use the 'before the Eternal Calendar' prefix.
But as for what major event the Angel race experienced in the middle of the War of the Gods...
Could it be anything other than the fall of the former Archangel and Theodore's succession as the new Archangel, the new Michael?
As for listing three wars and briefly describing one of them, it was even less of a problem for Yan Yunqing.
During the middle stages of the War of the Gods, the Demon King had basically participated in all the battles that involved the Angels.
So Yan Yunqing knew everything.
Looking at the subsequent questions, Yan Yunqing felt his confidence return.
Most of the short answer and essay questions were about the Eternal Calendar period, which was the period the Demon King had lived through.
Wasn't answering these questions a piece of cake?
He could answer a full-mark paper in minutes... oh, he forgot he didn't know the fill-in-the-blanks at the beginning.
But with the short answer and essay questions at the back to support him, he should be able to get at least a passing grade on this paper, right?
As for the quest to make a stunning debut? Ai, it's not like he could make a stunning debut just because he wanted to, alright?
He'll just complete as much as he can.
Yan Yunqing picked up his pen and began to write with a flurry of strokes.
Since most of it was about things he had personally experienced, he didn't need to think much before answering.
He just picked up the pen and wrote, his speed very fast.
This writing speed truly frightened the people around him.
At first, they thought Yan Yunqing might be putting on a show, pretending to know when he didn't, just writing a little something and flipping the paper to mess with everyone else's mentality.
But now they realized this person really knew how to write, and once he started, his pen didn't even pause.
Hey, don't you even need to think about it?!
Our willpower is really about to shatter!
Yan Yunqing's pen never stopped. Even so, by the time the papers were collected, he had only just managed to finish all the questions, except for the fill-in-the-blanks at the beginning that he didn't know at all.
As for the others, they wrote even slower. Most of them hadn't finished their papers when the test time was up, and their unfinished papers were forcibly collected.
Quinn saw Yan Yunqing nonchalantly rubbing his hand and couldn't help but move closer. "Big shot, are you a senior? Why would you think of coming to our class to sit in?"
Yes, now that the exam was over, Quinn could openly size up this god who had frantically flipped his paper during the test.
Quinn saw the dark gold badge on Yan Yunqing's chest at a glance and was instantly stunned.
Holders of this dark gold badge at Sigret Academy were either the top of their year or possessed special honors.
There were very few people who had this badge.
Since the top student of their first year was already in their class, Quinn naturally wouldn't mistake Yan Yunqing for Demetrius.
Coupled with Yan Yunqing's terrifying speed in writing the test, Quinn guessed that Yan Yunqing was probably the top student of another year.
Yan Yunqing blinked his eyes and repeated again: "I'm in this class."
Quinn laughed heartily: "Stop joking. I know everyone in our class. How could you possibly be in our Class A?"
Yan Yunqing thought for a moment. Just as he was about to say that he was a newly enrolled student, the male teacher on the stage, who had already collected all the test papers, said amiably while organizing them, "Good luck on the magic spell test this afternoon too, okay!"
Quinn glanced back at the jubilant-looking teacher, pursed his lips, and lowered his voice to complain to Yan Yunqing:
"Teacher Reid's wife is the teacher for Class A's afternoon magic spell class. I heard that Reid only decided to hold an exam after his wife prepared to give us a test."
"And he also said that the scores of these two exams will be calculated as a composite score. If you do poorly in one, the score of the other will also be dragged down."
Yan Yunqing: "A composite score?"
Yan Yunqing was lost in thought. If it was a composite score, based on how he answered those short answer and essay questions, his Magic History grade probably wouldn't be too bad.
Coupled with the magic spell test, maybe he really could make a stunning debut?
***
Reid trotted happily behind Professor Theresa with the stack of collected test papers, like a cheerful bear.
"What on earth are you smiling about?" Theresa glanced at Reid.
Reid quickly covered his upturned lips and coughed twice: "Nothing."
Theresa opened her office door and let Reid in. The test papers were split in two.
The larger pile was given to Reid, while Theresa graded the smaller pile herself.
Reid looked sympathetically at the test papers in Theresa's hands.
Ah, the papers graded by Teacher Theresa probably wouldn't even get any pity points. How pitiful.
Theresa paid no mind to what Reid was thinking and first opened the test paper she had been eyeing for a while.
Flipping to the first page, she found large blank spaces in the fill-in-the-blank section. Theresa couldn't help but frown.
When she saw the short answer and essay questions that followed, she was stunned.
This is...
